A crash involving two tractor-trailers along I-79 near Southpointe has stalled all northbound traffic on Dec. 24, 2020.

The northbound lanes of Interstate 79 reopened to traffic shortly before 11 a.m. after a crash involving two tractor-trailers had closed the highway near the Soutpointe Exit.

I-79 northbound was closed between Exit 48, Southpointe/Hendersonville and Exit 54 to Bridgeville, authorities had said.

No information was available about whether there were any injuries.
